Cao Pi was building ships in Xuchang and building such a big formation.

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, organized many detailed works in Xuchang and had received the news long ago.

Zhuge Liang liked the war between the Wei and Wu.

Upon hearing this news, Zhuge Liang woke up several times in his sleep!

Although Shu Han and Wu were allies, in his heart, he wanted the war between Wei and Wu to continue. Only when Shu Han sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, he had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

If all three countries develop steadily and Shu Han and Wu form an alliance, there is no problem of defending them by risk, but it is impossible to revive the Han Dynasty.

Not long after the Shu Han and Wu concluded an alliance, Sun Quan was attacked by Cao Pi and affirmed that Zhuge Liang would send troops from Hanzhong to restrain Cao Pi.

This is related to the sincerity of the Shu Han alliance, and Zhuge Liang really has no reason to refuse.

Since Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun in Jingzhou, although it looks miserable, it is actually not a serious injury to his vitality.

Zhuge Liang was prepared when Liu Bei went to war and was committed to restoring national strength while staying in Chengdu.

After Liu Chan ascended the throne, the situation in Shu Han was relatively stable, and there was no major turmoil, let alone major wars.

Even Cao Pi attacked Shu in the five directions, he was just a bluff and no army had any real battles.

Now Cao Pi changed his strategy and pointed his finger at Sun Quan.

For Shu Han, as long as Sun Quan could hold on, it would be a great good thing.

The war between the two countries has just begun, and Zhuge Liang does not want to ruin this matter no matter what.

After Liu Bei passed away, Liu Chan was still in the learning stage of his administration and handed over everything to Zhuge Liang, and he basically ignored him.

As the prime minister, Zhuge Liang was in charge of Chengdu, and no matter how big or small, he personally made a decision to govern the two rivers in an orderly manner.

The people of Shu Han were happy and peaceful, and they did not close their doors at night and did not pick up their remains on the road.

The grain in the middle of Sichuan has been ripe for many years, and the young and old sing their belly to praise each other. Whenever they encounter labor services, they strive to handle it early.

Therefore, all the items used in the military equipment of Shu Han were complete.

Mi Man Cang, Cai Yingfu, and Shu Han accumulated enough military resources in just two years and had the ability to fight a big battle.

However, because of the disadvantage of Xichuan's narrow territory and sparse population, overall, Shu Han's comprehensive national strength is quite inferior to that of Wei and Wu.

The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang has been secretly planning to connect some families of Xiliang who were dissatisfied with the Wei Kingdom, and is preparing to cooperate inside and outside to seize the two prefectures of Yongliang in one fell swoop, and then occupy Guandong.

If this plan is successful, Shu Han will have the capital to unify the world.

But the current period is not yet mature. If Zhuge Liang hurriedly sent troops from Hanzhong to support Sun Quan, he would instead alarm the enemy, and perhaps all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Zhuge Liang was a little anxious. Not only did he not want to rescue Sun Quan, he even wanted to create conditions to make Cao Pi feel at ease to attack Sun Quan and to implement his plan to advance Yongliang.

Zhuge Liang knew that Cao Pi had never dared to attack Sun Quan with all his strength, and he was the one who was really afraid of.

If you lead your army to leave Chengdu, you can kill two birds with one stone: you can not only refuse Sun Quan's request for help, but also relieve Cao Pi's worries.

Last time, Meng Huo responded to Cao Pi's attack on Shu and sent troops to rebel. Although he retreated quickly, the Southern Barbarians were always a heart-wrenching problem for Zhuge Liang. He was afraid of chaos at the critical moment of taking Yongliang, so he had long wanted to quell the Southern Barbarians and relieve the worries of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

At the critical moment when Cao Pi attacked Sun Quan, it was difficult for him to not send troops to rescue his allies, but instead took the initiative to fight in the south. Zhuge Liang really couldn't do it.

Zhuge Liang thought for a long time and had a plan. He quickly sent a gift to Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning, to act according to his plan.

Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning, was descended from Yongchi, the marquis of Shifang of the Han Dynasty.

Yongchi was from Pei County, Jun, and was originally a family of aristocratic families in Pei County.

Liu Bang raised an army to rebel against Qin, and Yongchi followed him and once guarded Feng County for Liu Bang.

Yongchi and Liu Bei grew up together and had always had a good relationship, but because Liu Bang's family was poor and Yongchi was rich, he had a natural sense of superiority and had always looked down on Liu Bang.

After he raised an army with Liu Bei, he was also considered a general under Liu Bei. When Liu Bang was in the most difficult time, Yong Chi gave up Liu Bei's base Fengxian and surrendered to Zhou City of Wei.

Liu Bang was furious and attacked Fengyi several times.

But Yongchi was not a vegetarian. He was prepared for a long time. Liu Bei could not conquer him for a long time, so he had to go to Xue County to join Xiang Liang. Liu Bang hated Yongchi very much for this.

Later Yongchi belonged to Zhao State. After Zhao State was occupied by Liu Bang, he surrendered to Liu Bang again.

Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and won the world, and rewarded the heroes.

He heard that someone was dissatisfied and complained every day, and Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang for advice.

Zhang Liang said:

"Your Majesty will reward whoever you hate the most, so that everyone can have hope of reward." Liu Bang then appointed Yongchi as the Marquis of Shifang (2,500 households).

In the third year of Emperor Hui of Han (192 BC), Yongchi died and was posthumously named Suhou.

His third generation (father) Sun Yonghuan inherited the title of the Marquis.

In September of the fifth year of Yuanding (112 BC), Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to Yelang, lower the river to meet Panyu. In the end, Hou Yongheng refused to join the army to attack Nanyue. He also failed to meet the requirements of the sacrificial work of Emperor Wu of Han. He was deposed as the throne of marquis by Emperor Wu of Han. His descendants were hereditary in Shifang for a total of 89 years.

Later, the Yong family settled in Jianning for hundreds of years and was a powerful local family.

After Liu Beiding settled Xichuan, Yong Kai immediately expressed his support and was appointed as the prefect of Jianning.

After Zhuge Liang made arrangements, an envoy soon reported:

"The prefect of Jianning Yong Kai, joined forces with Meng Huo to rebel. Zhu Bao, the prefect of Ji County, and Gao Ding, the prefect of Yueli County, offered the city. Only Yongchang Prefect Wang Kang refused to rebel. Now Yongkai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding, the subordinates of Gao Ding, were all guided by Meng Huo and attacked Yongchang County. Wang Kang and Gongcao Lu Kai gathered the people and defended the city to death. The momentum was very urgent."

Zhuge Liang wanted to fight south before Sun Quan and Cao Pi started the war. After receiving the report, he hurriedly entered the court and reported to Liu Chan:

"I think the Southern Barbarians are not convinced, which is a major concern for the country. I should lead my own army and go to fight."

Liu Chan was very tightly controlled by Zhuge Liang and learned a lot.

But Liu Chan was afraid of Zhuge Liang and never dared to make a bold decision.

This time Zhuge Liang made a southern expedition, Liu Chan, who was already twenty years old, thought it was an opportunity to show his skills. He was secretly happy, but said:

"There is Sun Quan in the east and Cao Pi in the north. Now the prime minister abandons me and leaves. If Wu and Wei come to attack, what will happen?"

When Zhuge Liang heard that Liu Chan began to consider national affairs, he was very happy and quickly comforted him:

"The Eastern Wu side has formed an alliance with our country, and there is no strange intention. If there is any strange intention, Li Yan will guard Baidicheng, and this person can stop Xun. Cao Pi's last attack on our country was unfavorable. Recently, I heard that the general was sending troops to Jiangdong is a good time for us to stabilize the Southern Barbarians. If Cao Pi makes a move to the east and attack the west, and Wei Yan guards the various passes in Hanzhong, there is no need to worry. I will stay in Guanxing and Zhang Bao and lead the two armies to rescue him to ensure that your majesty is safe. Now I will first sweep the barbarians, then attack the north, to seek the Central Plains, and repay the grace of the late emperor for three visits!"
